CD players like xcdplayer use the CD-ROM drive itself to generate sounds : they do not read the digital data on the CD to pass it along to /dev/audio. If you want to read the CD-audio tracks, you must use a "ripper" and a recent version of FreeBSD (there are some in the ports/audio section) : the ripper drives the CD-ROM and uses specific ioctl's to read .wav's on your hard disk. You can then either play these files directly, or you can convert them to other formats (like mp3s) TfH PS : any taker for a "mount_audio" ?
